“I’m proud to welcome back students after a hiatus due to the COVID pandemic,” stated Commissioner Hattaway. “Workforce development is a critical issue in our nations ports and the maritime industry. This program introduces Brevard students to paths to trade skill careers equally with college degree-oriented careers.”

Canaveral Port Authority Commissioner Robyn Hattaway, above, began the Junior Ambassadors initiative in 2019 in collaboration with Brevard County School Board Member Misty Belford.

The Canaveral Port Authority Junior Ambassador Program will enable 10th and 11th grade students from six public high schools and one private high school within Brevard County to explore career opportunities at the Port.

The program also seeks to provide workforce development to Port partners and community outreach.

During the school year, students will meet with Port leaders in such areas as cruise, cargo, military, environment, hospitality, commercial space flight and construction.

The students’ final project will be a presentation that features what they’ve learned. Junior Ambassadors will share their presentations with the Commission and with students at their respective schools.
